A fifteen-year-old was shot four times in the legs while driving two injured passengers to a hospital in the Donetsk region of Ukraine.
Fifteen-year-old Liza Chernichenko was shot four times in the legs while trying to drive two injured passengers to a hospital in Donetsk region.
Her dramatic escape on May 1 came as Russian forces stepped up their assault on Ukraine's eastern Donbas region, where they aim to seize a greater chunk of Donetsk and Luhansk, along with gaining full control of Mariupol, where an unspecified number of Ukrainian fighters remain at the Azovstal steel plant.
In the commotion that ensued, she decided the men needed to go to the hospital in Bakhmut, a community about an hour's drive away. One of the injured men had a car that could get them there, but given the fierce fighting nearby, no one wanted to drive.The two who were injured got in the car along with one of their wives and another man who offered to help navigate.
Chernichenko had been struck by at least four bullets and her baby toe on her left foot had been blown off. In Lviv, foreign doctors from the United States and Italy have arrived to help perform surgeries, but in communities along the front line, doctors and those with no medical training have been struggling to provide care while their hospital buildings are coming under attack.Before the war, Kostiantyn Sokolov, 35, worked at the Azovstal steel plant where he helped to manage the supply of equipment, but on Feb.
Kostiantyn Sokolov waits in a fuel lineup in Lviv on May 7. He fled Mariupol where he had been staying and helping out a maternity hospital since the start of the invasion."Thank God, they don't have a very well-aimed sniper," he joked.They went through a series of Russian-controlled checkpoints and a so-called filtration camp where his phone was searched and he was interrogated about whether he had any connections to Ukraine's military or the country's security services.
